If I wanted to *feel* the weight of one Bitcoin, I could convert it into the 35.2 ounces of gold it equals today. But why? What purpose would the gold serve? Unlike Bitcoin, I couldn’t carry it effortlessly across borders or live off its value wherever I go. Bitcoin is not just a store of value—it’s freedom in my pocket, ready to go anywhere in the world, unrestricted and unconfined.
